Tottenham turns around the match against Aston Villa
Aston Villa coach Unai Emery called Tottenham a more serious contender for the Champions League than his team, and today the Spurs showed why the Villans coach was right.
In the away match Emery's men opened the scoring in the 32nd minute through Morgan Rodgers' effort, but could do nothing after Tottenham's second-half comeback. The team from London struck the opponent's goal four times as Villa suffered only the second defeat in the current EPL season - 4:1.
